During this period of time, the officers and soldiers on the seaside were still garrisoned very strictly, but their lives were very peaceful, as if they were not affected by the war between Dongzhou and Yongzhou. After the Dongzhou warship returned to Dongzhou, there was no recent movement.

Yuan Liuzhen asked too much about Lian Hai. Although they couldn't send the letter directly to Yuan Zhenjian and the others, they could ask Yu Lianhai to go to the Lanyue Inn to inquire about Yuan Zhenjian's news and pass it on to them.In order to know Yuan Zhenjian's whereabouts, Yuan Liufeng gave Yu Lianhai the 1000 taels of silver note directly to make contact.

Yuecheng is far away from where they live, and now is a special period, 1000 taels of silver ticket to inquire about Yuan Zhenjian's current situation is indeed not expensive.

Yu Lianhai also wanted to help Yuan Liuzhen, so he naturally found a reliable channel to go to the Lanyue Inn in Yuecheng to ask about Yuan Zhenjian and the others.

It has been over a month since Yu Lianhai responded to ask Yuan Zhenjian for help, and the news has not yet been sent back.

While Yuan Liuzhen and the others were waiting for Yuan Zhenjian's news, they made some weapon models and sold snacks and various foods to make money.

They not only launched raw marinated shrimp, but also raw marinated crabs, squid and other snacks, which are sold when buying and selling things with Wushui Village.People in Wushui Village sell snacks because of Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen. In addition to selling rice noodles, daily necessities and other things, people in Wushui Village also set up stalls to sell snacks if they are good at cooking.In Haiping Village, many people who cook seafood and taste good have also started to set up food stalls.

The gathering every seven days became more lively, and they became more familiar with the people of Wushui Village.

Wei Shiren and the others also found more ways to make a lot of money by trading with Wushui Village people through their expertise.

It has been almost two months since Yu Lianhai reported that the Dongzhou and Yongzhou soldiers were both wounded.

On this day, Yu Lianhai got the news from Yuan Zhenjian and the others, and came to Yuan Liuzhen and the others immediately.

When Yu Lianhai looked for Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu was making breakfast, and he happened to be making seafood lump soup.

Tao Fu had just finished cooking when Yu Lianhai came over, and Yuan Liuzhen happened to stay to have dinner with him.

After they arrived here and lived here, Yu Lianhai bought snacks made by Tao Fu during the gathering, and he didn't eat Tao Fu's meals for a long time. Now he was left for breakfast, and he still ate seafood lumps that he had never eaten before. Tang looked forward to it for a moment.In addition to seafood such as dried shrimps, scallops, and clams, wild vegetables in the forest are also added to the seafood lump soup, which tastes very fresh and delicious.

In the past few days, Tao Fu's breakfast is seafood pimple soup. Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng love it very much, and they can also feed some to Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian.

When Yu Lianhai picked up the seafood pimple soup, it was not too hot. He took a spoonful of it with a wooden spoon and ate it into his mouth.He really wanted to eat the food cooked by Tao Fu every day, but unfortunately, Tao Fu was not his after all, so he couldn't cook for him every day. If he asked Tao Fu to cook every day, it would make Tao Fu inconvenient, so he had to endure Eat the meal made by the boat chef.However, he bought a lot of pickles made by Tao Fu at the rally, and adding some flavor to each meal can also make the meal very delicious.

They ate very fast, and Tao Fu made scented tea for them after the meal.

While drinking tea, Yu Lianhai told Yuan Liuzhen and the others the news of the investigation, "Didn't you ask to inquire about the news of my father and father at home? The result of the investigation was that your father, father and elder brother are indeed in Yuecheng , and I am more familiar with Lanyue Inn. There should be no need to worry about safety."

Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, so as long as it is confirmed that Yuan Zhenjian and the others have indeed arrived at Yuecheng in Yongzhou, they are indeed at Shen Lanyue's place, and they will be easy to find in the future. The most important thing is that Yuan Zhenjian and the others are safe now, they can rest assured .

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for helping us bring back the news." Yuan Liuzhen said gratefully, "I'm really sorry for always troubling you."

"It's okay, it's a little effort."

Later, Yu Lianhai talked about the current situation in Yongzhou. Yuecheng is the most prosperous city in Yongzhou. The king of Yongzhou and the emperors who fled to Yongzhou all lived in Yuecheng. city.

Because both Yongzhou and Dongzhou suffered losses in the first sea battle, the king of Yongzhou decided to transfer everyone in Yuecheng.Therefore, when Yu Lianhai demolished people to inquire about the news, the people from Yuecheng had already been transferred to other cities to settle down one after another.

And other city dwellers who are closer to Moon City have also begun to be led by the government to transfer the city dwellers to other places, and the people living in the nearby villages are hiding in safe and hidden caves, suitable for everyone to hide.

A large number of capable men, righteous men and those who voluntarily conscripted all poured into Moon City, and strong men with good water skills from every city and village rushed to Moon City to join the army.

When Yu Lianhai said this, he sighed and comforted, "The king of Yongzhou governed Yongzhou well. When Yongzhou encountered hardships, he could respond to everyone like this. Dongzhou is different from Xizhou. Many people voluntarily joined the army. , but more people do not want to join the army, so they can only be forced to join the army. The money accumulated in the hands of Dongzhou and Xizhou people must pay enough taxes, otherwise there is no way to leave the city and no way to live. "

"This happens because it has been like this in all dynasties. Once a war breaks out, very heavy taxes will be paid. Xizhou and Dongzhou follow the rules of previous dynasties. As long as enough taxes are collected, the war will not be easily defeated. Wait until the war is over. If there is any surplus money, part of the money will be returned to everyone according to the money delivered, but in most cases, after a long period of war, part of the money delivered has been embezzled by the government. Even if the war subsides, there will be no money returned to everyone. After that, various policies were relatively relaxed, and there were few or no taxes in the post-war years.

"Besides, Xizhou and Dongzhou are not richer than Yongzhou. The government does not have enough money to support the war. It can only follow the rules of the past dynasties to obtain money from the people. In the generation when the Yongzhou king governed Yongzhou, the Yongzhou king governed well. All kinds of things are for everyone, so that everyone has more money in their hands, and the government can also accumulate a lot of money from rich states, so that there will be no money to support the war. Therefore, once the war in Yongzhou occurs, Yongzhou people are not needed Pay a lot of taxes. It is also because of this that once a war breaks out, the people of Yongzhou will respond."

Both Yuan Liuzhen and Tao Fu understood what Yu Lianhai said, and they also knew that Yongzhou King was very open-minded, and they knew that they could not help themselves when they used to live in Xizhou.

Now they can only sigh, and can't change anything.

Yu Lianhai said: "Now I can only think about the next time Yongzhou and Dongzhou fight, and Yongzhou will win a big victory. This will not affect us who are far away from Yuecheng. I believe that there are capable people and righteous people in Yuecheng. With more soldiers from each city going to Yuecheng, the next time we fight against Dongzhou, we will definitely win a big victory.”

"So do we."

Yu Lianhai chatted with them a lot, and also told Yuan Liuzhen that his family was doing well in Yuecheng, and reassured them not to think too much before leaving.

After a period of time, Yuan Liuzhen continued to study, asked Yuan Liufeng and Tao Fu to make models that were closer to modern thermal weapons, and thought of various strategies that could be used on the battlefield. Write together, with pinyin, French, Russian, Japanese, Korean and other languages ​​mixed together to write strategies that can be used on the battlefield.It also wrote about the difficulties Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng encountered in making models and the areas that need improvement in the recent period.

Recently, because Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng made too many weapon models, many of them were destroyed in order to avoid trouble. Before the destruction, Yuan Liuzhen would make records in various languages.

Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng were surprised when they saw Yuan Liuzhen's incomprehensible and never-before-seen words, which were a little unusual, but Yuan Liuzhen said with a smile: "These words were written like this in some books before. I want to use these incomprehensible marks to record, so as not to be discovered by others.”

Tao Fu and Yuan Liufeng were puzzled after hearing this, but they didn't think too much about it. They just thought that Yuan Liuzhen was drawing talismans. Only Yuan Liuzhen knew that someone who could understand these languages ​​would naturally be able to piece together the meaning of these words.

In addition to making these, Tao Fu has recently developed a very delicious hoisin sauce.

As soon as the hoisin sauce came out, it was sold out instantly. The most important thing is that the hoisin sauce developed by Tao Fu recently, Yuan Liuzhen's deposit is not cheap, but even so, they will be sold out in a short time if they are sold at the fair.

As for why he made hoisin sauce, when Yuan Liuzhen was picking up seafood with Lu Lian, he thought of signing up for a group tour with his classmates when he was in college. When he came back, the tour guide took them to a shopping mall. He bought three bottles of hoisin sauce. The taste is very good, which is considered a local He knew some ingredients and so on, so he asked Tao Fu to try to make it.

Unexpectedly, the seafood sauce made tastes very good. Whether it is bibimbap, steamed buns or as a condiment, it is very delicious. Just one bite will make people miss it. It is more practical and better than food such as spicy strips or raw pickled shrimp. It was well received by Wei Shiren, the people of Wushui Village, and the officers and soldiers stationed here.

The officers and soldiers stationed here are much more motivated to buy seafood sauce than to buy other snacks.

Because selling seafood sauce is very popular, Yuan Liuzhen decided to include all kinds of sauces in the scope of selling things in the future. He can focus on development and develop various bean pastes for sale, which should sell well.Sauce products can be stored for a long time and are easy to make.

Yuan Liuzhen and Yuan Liufeng also like to eat the seafood sauce made by Tao Fu. No matter what they eat, they will put it down for a while, and they will not get tired of eating. Tao Fu will also mix up various flavors of sauce, and eat it with different tastes. It is very delicious .

Recently, their lives have been peaceful, but not long after, the number of officers and soldiers stationed by the sea began to decrease, and some officers and soldiers left one after another, and some officers and soldiers were stationed.

Yu Lianhai also gathered everyone together and told everyone the latest news.

Yuan Liuzhen and the others gathered together and saw that Yu Lianhai's face was not good, they were very worried, and they were even more worried.Yu Lianhai was very kind in most cases, and it was the first time he showed such a serious expression. Yu Lianhai looked at everyone and didn't say anything, but said: "A few days ago, Yongzhou and Dongzhou fought for the second time. Several warships were sunk in Yongzhou, and the situation is not good. If the king of Yongzhou hadn't arranged for soldiers with good water quality to attack the warships of Dongzhou in advance, and then quickly evacuated, I'm afraid it would be..."

Yu Lianhai didn't go on, but everyone understood what Yu Lianhai wanted to say. King Yongzhou had rich combat experience, and Yongzhou had a good navy. Under such circumstances, several warships were sunk by Dongzhou.

"Recently, Yongzhou issued a notice to recruit shipbuilders and people who know how to make weapons. I plan to dedicate the boat built by everyone to the King of Yongzhou, and let the shipbuilders go to Yuecheng."

When Yu Lianhai said this, he looked in the direction of Yuan Liuzhen, and then said something to comfort everyone, saying that although Yongzhou had sunk a few warships in this battle, Dongzhou was also very heavy. I am afraid it will take a few months. Fight again after trimming.

After Yu Lianhai finished talking to everyone, everyone was in a bad mood. With Yu Lianhai's comfort, their worries did not ease at all, but they had no choice but to continue their current life while worrying.If they are in danger here, the officers and soldiers stationed here will notify them to leave here with the people of Wushui Village.Not letting them leave here shows that the current situation has not affected the place where they live.

After Yu Lianhai asked everyone to disband, he came alone to the thatched cottage where Yuan Liuzhen, Tao Fu, and Yuan Liufeng lived.

Tao Fu asked Yu Lianhai to sit down, made scented tea for Yu Lianhai, and brought a big bowl of crispy rice for Yu Lianhai to eat.

Yuan Liuzhen and the others were not surprised by Yu Lianhai's arrival.

Yu Lianhai took a sip of scented tea, ate a few slices of crispy rice, and then looked at Yuan Liuzhen and said, "Mr. Go to Moon City."

"It's okay. Mr. Yu's decision is the best choice for everyone. As long as the emperor and Yongzhou king are here, Dongzhou and Xizhou will definitely be recovered, but once Yongzhou is broken and occupied by Lishui Kingdom, we will also be implicated. Not to mention how the Lishui Kingdom treats the people, but the Yongyang Kingdom is broken, and the Lishui Kingdom will first of all plunder the various resources of the Yongyang Kingdom to improve the quality of life for the people of the Lishui Kingdom, reward the generals, plunder the beautiful men and women and the wealth of the people, and even enslave them. It is the people of Yongyang who are suffering. With the current situation, we naturally hope that Yongzhou can win a big victory. As for dedicating the ship to the King of Yongzhou and letting Master Lian and the others pass, this is serving the country, and we will not hesitate."

"It's good that Zhen Fulang can understand. Even Master and the others went over. I want to dedicate the shipbuilding diagram drawn by you to King Yongzhou. I know it's inappropriate, but I still want to ask for your opinion. For the shipbuilding design, I just ask Master Lian to help build the ship." Yu Lianhai looked at Yuan Liuzhen with hope in his eyes.

Yuan Liuzhen smiled firmly and said: "You can dedicate it to the King of Yongzhou. The situation is critical now. If I can contribute my own strength to save the current situation, I am naturally willing. I also hope that the war will subside as soon as possible."

In fact, the shipbuilding design drawings he drew still lacked the location of the cannons, but when the ships were being built, he knew that they were not building warships, and there were no cannons now, so even if they drew forts, it would be useless.It was also because of this that he had the idea of ​​going to Moon City to offer advice.

Hearing what Yuan Liuzhen said, Yu Lianhai felt a lot more relaxed, "Then I will let Master Lian and the others go to Yuecheng, and then we can discuss with the shipbuilder over there how to improve and make warships more suitable for combat. And Zhenfu I will also dedicate the wooden tools that Lang mentioned before to King Yongzhou."

"Okay." Yuan Liuzhen responded, and Yu Lianhai left without staying with them for long.

After Yu Lianhai informed them of the news, Master Lian and the others needed to pack their things, have a good night's rest, and prepare to leave here for Moon City tomorrow morning under the escort of officers and soldiers.

That night, while sleeping, Tao Fu and Yuan Liuzhen were intimate for a long time, until both of them were tired, Yuan Liuzhen held Tao Fu's hand, a little hesitant to speak, Tao Fu looked at Yuan Liuzhen and had something to say look like.In the end, it was Yuan Liuzhen who spoke first: "Let's go to Yuecheng together to offer advice to King Yongzhou. It just so happens that even Master and the others are going to Yuecheng, so we can go together."

Tao Fu was not surprised that Yuan Liuzhen would say these words, "I also want to tell you. If I just want to go to Yuecheng, I can go alone. Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian need to be taken care of."

"I know." Yuan Liuzhen was a little embarrassed. Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are still young. If he went to Yuecheng with Tao Fu, he could entrust Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to Yuan Liufeng's care. None of them are good.Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are so young, and he hasn't been away from them for too long, he is worried, and he doesn't want Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian to be sad.

"Or let Mr. Yu think of a way, we will take Xiaoqing, Xiaoqian, and the second brother to Yuecheng together." Yuan Liuzhen said.

"Moon City is not safe now, and I am even more worried if you take Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian there. Besides, my brother and his family members cannot go to the battlefield. I will also join the army and go to the battlefield while offering advice in the past." Tao Fu said "Join the army" two words When he was speaking, he was a little afraid to look at Yuan Liuzhen, for fear that Yuan Liuzhen would blame him.

After hearing this, Yuan Liuzhen said after a long time: "Okay. I won't go to Yuecheng, I will stay here with my second brother to take care of Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian. You have made the models of those weapons with your second brother before, and you are already very proficient, so you don't need to bring those weapons The model, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will check it. I will re-write a copy of the use method, production experience and precautions of these weapons in numbers. When the time comes, you will keep it well. The king of Yongzhou promised to cast these weapons, and he could talk to the master who made the weapons over there about these precautions, and if not, he could look at the digital table."

After Yuan Liuzhen finished speaking, without waiting for Tao Fu to say anything, she got up and lit the lamp, and began to write and draw.It is very difficult for Tao Fu to read, and it is even more difficult to learn other languages. He can only use numbers to write out the method, experience and use of weapons that he wrote earlier, and then give Lu Lian the book written by Yuan Liufeng. The story book is found out, and the words in the story book are marked with numbers one by one.In this way, Tao Fu can know how to use and make these weapons as long as he compares the script and the digital table.At that time, while Tao Fu offered advice, he also prevented other people from learning more, so as not to leak this knowledge, and if Dong Zhou or others knew about it, it would cause very serious consequences to the world.

When Yuan Liuzhen made these signs, she told Tao Fu while making the signs, and Tao Fu took notes one by one.

Yuan Liuzhen worked all night to mark the complete weapon precautions, experience, production process and usage method, and then handed over the storybook and digital table to Tao Fu for safekeeping.Then he took Tao Fu's hand and said to Tao Fu worriedly: "Listen to me, go to Yuecheng only to offer advice, not to go to the battlefield. If you have no choice but to go to the battlefield, you must protect yourself. I, Xiaoqing and Xiaoqian are waiting you come back."

"I know." Tao Fu looked at Yuan Liuzhen's red eyes, which were also red. He hugged Yuan Liuzhen and said, "I will definitely come back safe and sound, and I will not let you, Xiaoqing, and Xiaoqing go through what my mother and I have gone through. .I'll definitely be back."

Yuan Liuzhen nodded, looked at Tao Fu for a long time, helped Tao Fu pack his bags, gave Tao Fu his sword, and brought Tao Fu a lot of food, things, and some old clothes. Ask Master Tao to bring a lot of money, "When you arrive at Moon City, you can use the money to exchange some new clothes and boots with other people. Eat better on the way, and discuss things with Master Lian and the others. You can find officers and soldiers. If there is any unexpected situation, you should find a way to escape and come back to us, you know? If the suggestion fails, then find a way to come back."

"I know." Tao Fu looked at Yuan Liuzhen like this and didn't want to leave at all, but he knew that he went to Yuecheng with the intention of coming back, for Yongzhou and for everyone.Maybe his strength alone would be insignificant, but if everyone went to the battlefield together, adding one more person might be able to turn the situation around.
